Bronny James, LeBron James' son, is playing his last season at Sierra Canyon. Where he takes his talents next is possibly the biggest question that will hound James' eldest son until he officially commits to a program.
The 18-year-old may not be the best talent out there, but he's certainly the most popular and most scrutinized. Some schools believe in his potential, though, and are willing to do their best to land the LA Lakers superstar's son.
Six universities have reportedly informed the James family of their interest in James Jr. Kentucky, Memphis, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon and USC are going all-in to recruit the budding basketball star.
